I don’t know who’s worse, the people who sign their cats’ names on Christmas cards, or the cats who refuse to sign. @Cpin42 Follow us on Facebook Another New Year! By The end of the year……out with 2018 and in with 2019!

Helping Grounding Cable Move When It Needs To Chuck Ross Grounding attachments are typically considered to be a stationary and permanent – after all, the equipment being used as a grounding connection is generally expected to remain fixed in place. But what about installations in which the protected equipment is frequently in motion? In these situations, a festoon-style approach can allow an appropriate range of motion without fear of creating pinch-points or other hazards in the grounding cable.
